The Cost of Death

We always hear about the rising costs of living, but have you ever thought about the cost of dying? The truth is that the cost of dying, including funerals, is out of reach for some. Experts call that funeral poverty.

It is said that in the United Kingdom, one out of every five persons cannot afford a funeral.

According to an article from theguardian.com, “This is the cost of being dead: the funeral, the cars, probate, the flowers that say ‘Best Dad Ever,’ the burial or cremation. If you factor in the costs before death, it’s eye-popping.”
